One of the biggest questions “Pokémon Go” players have is whether or not legendary creature Mewtwo is in the game. While Mewtwo makes up one of the 151 Pokémon, its presence in the app has been question since it launched. There have been plenty of trainers who claimed to have caught the highly coveted creature, but there haven’t been any confirmed reports to date.

It doesn’t mean it’s impossible to catch Mewtwo, though. For example, Mr. Mime is only exclusive to Europe and Tauros is exclusive to North America. The only way to obtain a Tauros across the pond is to hatch it from a 5km egg.

Even though it’s not possible to catch Mewtwo at the moment, there have been musings that it might be possible in the near future. Since the trailer showed a hoard of people catching Mewtwo in Times Square, it’s assumed there will be a public hunt in New York City’s midtown. Users will probably have to be at a higher trainer level to participate. None of this is confirmed, just highly speculated among players.

One reason there might be a limit on who can catch Mewtwo is because of what happened in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, Saturday. Thousands of people stormed the capital to catch Snorlax, one of the rare creatures, Time reported Monday. The game has been a major problem for parts of Asia, where over-crowding it already a problem.
